WCW Thunder - July 5^th, 2000

By Greg of GreatWrestling.com and The True Wrestling Move Digest

Before I start my report I want to throw out a plug to one of my favourite web sites. Check out Wheezer's© Slayground. You're probably asking what happened to Xavier Doom. Who's Xavier Doom?
Check out The True Wrestling Move Digest. It won't teach you anything, but it must be good for something.

To start the show off with we have clips from Nitro.
"Earlier Today" Jeff Jarrett tells The Cat that if he wants ratings, then he should let him retire Hogan's ass tonight. Jarrett calls The Cat a nothing and The Cat argues with him some more, then tells him he's going to put him on the show.
Tony opens up the show with "WCW is out control and we like it like that." We then hear the Chosen One's music and he makes his way down to the ring.
Jarrett makes his way down to the ring, guitar in hand.

Jarrett's music always reminds me of how much of a hack Kid Rock is.
Jarrett: "I am the Chosen One."
Like we haven't heard that 300 times in the past month.
Jarrett talks about knocking S&P out and how things have changed since that incident.
When he got to the arena he was told that they didn't have time for him on television tonight.

The Cat talks about being the greatest commissioner of all time and then says that for the ratings, he's going to put on a karate demonstration tonight.
The Cat says that he's going to find the meanest, toughest guys tonight and bring them in the ring for the demonstration.
To kill two birds with one stone, he's going to book a tag team match with Booker T and Buff Bagwell against Kanyon and Shane Douglas.
Did I call that or what?
Jarrett tells him to get to the Chosen One and the person who gains the pinfall will face Jarrett for the title in the main event.
If WCW has Bagwell win...
The Cat says that he's going to call Hogan and say that Jarrett might not be the champion anymore after tonight.
Jarrett argues, but The Cat hits his music and leaves.

The announcers babble about tonight's matches.
Apparently there's a tanning salon in the arena. As Stasiak and Palumbo, singing some songs, get into the tanning beds, Woody locks them in the beds. Woody then turns the power all the way up to eleven. That was pretty funny.
When we come back from break Jarrett abuses a poor table and walks away saying that he wants Hogan tonight. Chris Kanyon then runs by and gives a crew member a Kanyon Cutter! "Bang!" From the distance you can hear Jarrett say, "Knock that crap off, Kanyon."

Backstage, the rassler himself Gene Okerlund talks to Buff Bagwell and Booker T. Booker has some new black and white tights. Buff babbles about being the one going into the Bash as the champion. Buff wished Booker good luck, then leaves.
Booker says that he decided to write his own book called "'Positively Kanyon's Greatest Moments'. Does he have any? I think not. You think not, but I think so. Chapter One is entitled 'Kanyon Sucks,' Chapter two is entitled 'Kanyon Still Sucks', Chapter Three is entitled 'Kanyon Sucks Again', and let's not forget Chapter Four which is called 'Kanyon Craps His Pants Like A Little Baby'."
That was kind of lame.
Backstage, Danny Young helps Stasiak and Palumbo out of the tanning beds. They both look pretty red. Palumbo is calling for his mommy from the tanning bed. Stasiak asks who did that to them and Danny rats out Woody. Stasiak then leaves to find them.

This Sunday at the PPV The Juice will get his shot at the Cruiserweight Title.

Holy crap. The NWA NJ really put out all the stops for their Wildwood events during the summer. The Wall, Crowbar, 911, Big Dick Dudley, The Equalizer, Nicole Bass, Chris Candido, Tammy (She's evil), Sherri Martel, Jimmy Snuka, King Kong Bundy, and the best of all, "Elephant Man" which is really Elephant Boy but I guess it's copyrighted.

Goddamn it. Another one of these interviews. This time in the home of Jim Duggan.

Tenay is with Jim and Debra Duggan.
Duggan says that physically he's okay since he got a couple cracked ribs and some internal bleeding.

Jim says that the fans are the ones that make everything possible and how they helped him through the hardest times in his life, the cancer time.

Let's just hope it's after I stop doing the Thunder report.

I'd usually do a Good/Bad/Ugly but it's 5:15 AM right now and I'm kind of tired. Everything tonight was good besides the Hardcore Match. See yah next week.
